2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · CV17 ACX

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 26 April 2025 at 128,358 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows no defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. This lack of flagged issues suggests a consistent standard of upkeep despite the vehicle's high usage. The mileage is high for a nine year old car, averaging over 14,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer rose from 83,231 to 109,121 miles, representing nearly 26,000 miles in a single year. A further 19,000 miles were added by the April 2025 test. This pattern indicates the car has been used heavily for long-distance commuting or fleet work. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these typically degrade under the stress of 128,000 miles. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to the drivetrain and engine mounts. Although the tester recorded no defects, the sheer volume of miles increases the likelihood of subtle wear in the transmission or rubber mounts that an MOT test might not catch. Checking for any signs of oil leaks or chassis corrosion will confirm if the lack of MOT advisories reflects genuine mechanical health or simply a lenient testing process.
